OK. I would suggest removing these from nssdatabases-defaults for the time being if this is causing problems, as a workaround. > This means that if a package build-deps on netbase, dpkg will present > a conffile conflict for those three files, which is highly undesirable > in a non-interactive builder. I wonder if (for buildd chroots) we should be running dpkg with --force-confnew to unconditionally force replacement with new conffiles? If this is configurable via APT such as Dpkg::Options::force=--force-confnew then maybe we should be setting this by default (this applies more generally than just this specific case). We could remove these files from nssdatabases-defaults to avoid this issue. However, the idea is that all the NSS databases are "slaved" to the host and automated updating is wanted in almost all cases. We were considering creating a separate set of buildd defaults, which would still allow the current default behaviour on non- buildd systems, while allowing the defaults to be restricted on buildd setups. Does anyone else have any further comments? Thanks for reporting this! Regards, Roger -- .''`.
